If You Have a Tummy
Look for: A wide waistband and a higher rise to hold in a muffin top and smooth the midsection, says Karyn Riale, a New York City–based retail buyer for the Shops at Equinox. For more belly flattening, try pants with built-in stomach-control panels.
If you’re thicker in the middle, the stretchy, padded waistband on these Capris won’t dig into your sides.

Look for: Side seams that curve inward to “sculpt” legs, says Kirta Carroll, the marketing brand director for Lady Foot Locker. A dense fabric, like Supplex, minimizes jiggle, while a straight or bootcut leg helps balance hips.

Look for: Cuts that fit snugly on the thighs to slim and lengthen. Also, “ankle-length hems or ones that overlap your shoes help elongate, instead of chopping calves in half,” says Los Angeles–based sports stylist Cindy Whitehead.
Prefer cropped? Try a pair that hits just past the knee.
To buy: C9 by Champion polyester-blend pants, $25, 800-591-3869.

To buy: Old Navy nylon-spandex petite compression pants with hidden pocket in the back, $27, 800-653-6289.
(Photo: Jens Mortensen)If You’re Tall
Look for: Pants designed for “tall” proportions, which generally have inseams of 33 inches or longer. Crops should be fitted at the hem to avoid the “Where’s the flood?” look. Beware of camel toe (yup, we’re going there): Short-rise cuts can cause this on a long torso.
